    The olecranon is situated at the proximal end of the ulna, one of the two bones in the forearm. [1] When the hand faces forward ( supination ) the olecranon faces towards the back (posteriorly). It is bent forward at the summit so as to present a prominent lip which is received into the olecranon fossa of the humerus during extension of the ...
